The Riot fanboyism in this thread is so appalling. Even my pet cat can see that a pause function in game for all modes would be worthwhile. PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY BE ALLOWED TO RE-CONNECT TO GAMES. IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF SOMEONE BEING D/C'D FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES.

But of course, Riot fanboys will say anything to defend their shoddy game.

This so much. There is no good reason for there not to be a pause function in a game where matches routinely last 30+ minutes and the presence of all team members is essential. The "abusing it to troll" argument is invalid because it doesn't actually happen, and there are measures in place to prevent it anyways.

if there was a pause function, then the ultra hardcore dota 2 nerds and fanboys(I.E every dota 2 fan on gamefaqs) would QQ about riot stealing from the better game to polish their turd---League of Legends IGN: devilkingx - add me and play with meOfficial Raichu of the pokemon X and Y boards

The ranking system, copied right off of StarCraft 2. The ping system, copied kinda off of DotA 2's notifications and L4D2's wheel.

What else? Trundle's classic skin looking exactly like a troll's design from WoW? Same hairstyle and color possible.

becasue its annoying af and we dont need a pause function anymore than we need maps.

lol "we need new maps"

Wow, you really need new maps? This game is based off the classic 5v5 map. Who the **** really cares about new maps. I hardly even touch Dominion or Twisted Treeline, and rarely even Proving Grounds. Seriously, "new maps" rofl

New maps just serve to distract League players with low attention spans, such as those who literally only play the game to buy the new monthly, generic champ, and mess around with ARAMs.

Seriously. Dota only released two new heroes last year, and it is a massive case of quality over quantity. Meanwhile, in League, there are people chomping at the bit due to the gap between Zac and Quinn being longer than average; they don't think an average of twelve champs a year is enough. Also, I'm saddened by the fact that some people honestly don't see the "point" of playing League if all characters were unlocked, like in Dota.

Some people just enjoy the perpetual hamster wheel, I suppose.---"There'd come a time when life'd pull us apart. S'not a reason to avoid people."
